Giveaway: Offbeat Bride

When I was planning my wedding, I was given and (stupidly) purchased several books that ended up being a huge waste. I didn't really need someone to tell me that I was a horrible person registering for my honeymoon or how to match my flower girl's dresses to my man's tie to my bridesmaid's underwear so everything would be exactly perfect for the big day. Although I'm sure plenty of people think the folks who read Offbeat Bride are pretty weird, for me it was one of those blips of normalcy among all the wedding madness.

this is what i need! i'm planning a garden wedding for end of august - and i'm still shocked how old school all wedding guides are! it's ok to not walk down the aisle to "here comes the bride" right?!? hope i get this copy! :)

And, by the way, when I first got engaged, your blog was one of my favorite inspirations. You were already married, but I read every post, and I'm pretty sure some of it seeped into the twinkle-lit outdoor summer wedding I'm currently planning. Thanks!

Planning my backyard wedding for this August, been planning it while in graduate school and loving every minute of it! Thanks for the inspiration. I would love to see Ariel's book. I love her site too.

I love your blog...you've helped me find so many awesome do-it-yourself ideas:) Three of my closest friends and myself are all getting married in the next 6 moths, and would love to have another wedding-planning resource to pass around:)

As a girl who just ordered hundreds of late blooming seeds so I can grow my own flowers for my September wedding, this is right up my alley! Plus, it will help me show my mom that there are other brides like me, & even if wear bright red shoes, I will still end up happily married. Go Offbeat! :)

wedding planning is making me a crazy woman! i could really use some coaching to help me figure out how to plan this wedding without having to follow the rules of the wedding industry. help would be soooo appreciated!
